The Seed of the Sacred Fig
The Seed of the Sacred Fig [trailer]
Investigating judge Iman grapples with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble.
The paranoia and fear that easily spreads when living under an oppressive regime.
The use of real phone recordings from protests in Iran provides context and shows this is not a mere theoretical piece of fiction.
Director Mohammad Rasoulof has numerously been arrested and sentenced in Iran and now has fled the country. You can say he knows the local justice system well.
The Seed of the Sacred Fig
directed by Mohammad Rasoulof, 2024
